Free Dartmouth Ethics

I think in spirit, Kumar was totally in the right. Most of the people on that list would probably have been delighted that so many people would be thus interested. I removed the post for now however, because in my opinion, he was literally in the wrong. Some of the people on that list could have easily wanted that even one person, whom they know not to be on the list, to not hear their opinion, attributed to them or not. As for my removal (which I will immediately retract if people disagree) I think that a fair policy on questions of ethics for this Blog or any is that it is removed and then discussed, like libel, rather than the opposite - where whatever potential harm it may do would be done while we discussed it. Like I just replied to someone who disagreed and believed it fell into the realm of censorship, I would rather that if we agree to repost the e-mails and that such is appropriate in the future, that if someone did call us on it, we could say, Well, we respect your opinion, but as a group we feel that this kind of posting is appropriate, and be able to point them to a page with our policy, rather than having it up and saying, well, it's up for discussion so we left it up.

I reiterate what I wrote in my edit - I think now is a time to consider policy in general on this site and would love to see what people think in general.
